THE ORIGINAL NAME of this recipe was "Ham That Looks Like Bacon" -its strips of meat and bread. We love them "grilled" but these old-fashioned ribbon sandwiches flavored with chutney butter can also be served untoasted.

    Butter
    Major Grey mango chutney
    Applegate Farms Organic Ham
    White sandwich bread
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ lb. butter, at room temperature
¼ cup Major Grey mango chutney
6 slices of Applegate Farms Organic Ham
9 slices thin white sandwich bread
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the butter to grill the sandwiches. Mix together the chutney and remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a small bowl until they are well mixed. Lay out the bread slices on a work surface and spread each slice with chutney-butter, making sure you spread right to the edge. Top the buttered side of a slice of bread with a piece of ham, and repeat making a triple-decker sandwich. Use remaining bread and ham to make 2 more sandwiches. Cut off crusts and any overhanging ham, squaring off each sandwich. Wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper and refrigerate until ready to serve. Melt the reserved 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook on both sides until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and slice into thirds then cut each piece in half. Sprinkle with some minced chives or parsley.
